Hi, I have to do a job with a Schneider / Modicon 340 PLC and was wondering if I can connect a Red Lion G306 to it. I can't find out much about it. Some Modbus arrangement maybe ?

Cheers, Grant
 
you get different m340 cpu's. bmx p341000, bmx p342000, p342010,p342020 all have normal onboard modbus port. if the red lion has a ethernet port i would go for a bmx p342020(onboard modbus and ethernet port) or p342030 (onboard ethernet and canopen) or optionally you can buy the cheapest m340 and get an extra NOE to use for comms with red lion.
 
i checked out the red lion and it supports modbus tcp/ip. so any m340 with an ethernet port should work fine
 
Tag addressing

Greetings.

I also have a G3 series Red Lion I want to use with an M340. Using either Crimson 2 or 3, when the Ethernet protocol is set to Modbus TCP/IP, the tag addressing is in standard Modicon format (0xxxx, 1xxxx, 4xxxx, etc.). Unfortunately the M340 follows the IEC61131 standard. Is it possible to address in the old Modicon format to read and write to the new format, i.e. %MW0 = 40001? ...or am I missing something?

Thanks for any input.
 
Yeah. That's what I discovered - the Redlion address of 40001 corresponds to the %MW0 address in the M340 and so on.
